How License Plate Lookup Works

Wondering how a license plate lookup actually works? Here’s a simple breakdown of the process, from start to finish.


Step 1: Place Your Order

Start by submitting your request on the License Plate Lookup Order Page. You’ll need the plate number, the state where the plate was issued, and your permissible purpose for the lookup.


Step 2: Verification of Purpose

Under the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (DPPA), all lookups must have a legal reason. Common purposes include lawsuits, hit-and-run cases, debt collection, fraud investigations, and legal service of process.

You can read more about the DPPA here: U.S. Department of Justice DPPA Overview.


Step 3: Investigator Access

As a licensed private investigator, I access databases not available to the public. Free websites only show a vehicle’s make, model, and year. I can provide the registered owner’s name and address, when a permissible purpose exists.


Step 4: Results Sent to You

Once verified, I’ll send you the results by email or secure delivery. If no records are found, you’ll get a full refund — guaranteed.
